Friday, May 24, 2019, 10:11 p.m. – The Okanagan resident says her initial reaction was shock
A Peachland, BC homeowner was surprised to meet an unusual intruder last weekend, but now laughs at the bizarre encounter and what the hungry intruder stole from her.
Colleen Linley believes the bear entered her house through an improperly secured door on the lower level around 5:45 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Linley told Global News that she was initially shocked by the size of the bear and was worried that it would suddenly shoot her.
The bear spent about 10 minutes in a small utility room in the house, digging into a small freezer and peeling down eight frozen meat pies.
Linley’s family was not hurt by the encounter and said they are “laughing at it now”.
This area of BC has seen an increase in bear sightings recently and Wildsafe BC has promoted awareness and safety by going door-to-door to educate local residents.
